Good cross?

I honestly quit woods hunting years back and pretty much got out of dogs but of course when something is a true passion you’ll find your way back. I’m playing with these pen dogs at the moment as it works better for the kids and I enjoy the company of the bay pen folks. The biggest problem I see with a lot of different animals is no one proves their brood stock out and culls accordingly. I understand the cost .. time and energy that went into it but a cull is a cull and your goal is to produce a working animal and or improve your stock. We as humans are to willing to make excuses as to why we should keep them and overlook the faults we aren’t happy with. We don’t have to rely on them to eat or work or make a paycheck like they did when most were created. The other big problem I see is geographic differences. Just because someone breeds a great line of dogs and has maintained them for several years doesn’t mean you’re going to get a pup and take it to a different geographic and make a dog. They work so well for that breeder because they perfected them for where they hunt and how they hunt. If you are in the market for a pup I would look for a person or breeder that hunts the same geographic you do and pretty close to the same way you do. Just because they didn’t make a dog for you doesn’t give you the right to bash a breeder because there is so many variables that go into making a dog and as you pointed out the lack of hunting land and access to land will eventually be the death of more then one breed or line of dogs and to be honest that’s the exact reason I stepped away. Truthfully for me to woods hunt like I believe a dog should be I’d have to make trips out of state to have the access you would need. It just doesn’t exist where I live in Florida or access is not available unless you were born into the family.
